Screenwriting: Writing Style

What is “writing style? in a script? This video gets into detail about the purpose of style, the meaning of “tone” and a bunch of tips, skills and techniques to help you use your words to make the story come alive on the page. BTW: “Style” is NOT FORMAT! For the low-down on Screenwriting Format, check out THIS video: Script Format Made EZ! (Livestream Class) - https://youtu.be/D9eAT3lMY84 - - - - - FOOTNOTE/CORRECTION! Thinking about it later, I suspect that “Fred goes over to the gang” would be more clearly “enough to cover it”, instead of “Fred walks toward the gang members” (3:32). (Because in theory, walking-toward would require stopping, since he could veer off or walk past - but “going over to” implies stopping when you get there...) But I didn’t want to re-edit the whole video for that. = = = = = This channel is here to help you learn to write for screens - ANY kind of screens, from Hollywood tentpole to streaming series to DIY indie.
